Open your symbol with gschem and check for:

1. proper pinnumber attributes.
2. proper pinlabel.

Make sure the footprint pins match the pinnumber attribute in the 
symbol. The problem does not go away because it shouldn't be there in 
the first place. If you are using pinlabels properly, the 
ExecuteFile(test-schem.cmd) should replace the pinnumbers in the pcb 
layout with the pinlabel names from the symbol. At least it does for me.
